Time

"Time is the coin of your life.  It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent."

~Carl Sandburg~

Time really is flying, with graduation fast approaching I am scared and excited by what my future holds.  I am probably one of the worst people for being indecisive, so what to do now that Uni is over?

I have just come back from holiday with one of my best friends.  It was so lovely to have chance to relax and unwind from the stress that my final year of Uni has had on me.  We spent hours sitting in the sun, chatting and generally having a good time.  Honestly, a week just wasn’t long enough! However, it did make one thing in my mind clear - I want to travel.  I want to see the world while I am still young and have no ties with a job or family. I want to experience different cultures and see a different way of life. So my plan is to take a second gap year as it were.  My first gap year was spent working and performing in various shows.  I saved my money and it did as I intended it too; it got me financially through University which I was very grateful for. But I think this is the time to do all the things I want to do before I have to survive as an Actor! Now all I need is to find a job, figure out somewhere to live for September and save like mad. I think the saying “easier said than done” couldn’t be more appropriate!

I didn’t want to finish this entry without mentioning the amazing wedding of my friend Pippa Webster to her husband Matt Blackwell. Pippa is the first of my friends to get married - we really are all growing up! It was such a beautiful day, filled with lots of love and joy.  I can honestly say I have never felt so uplifted during a church service.  The whole day was fantastic and I wish them both all the best for their lives together.
